When someone leaves a little boy in a basket outside Asterix and Obelix’s hut, it’s two Gauls and a baby! Though Asterix and Obelix have more experience whopping legionaries than diapering infants, they do their best. Also new to childcare is the sneaky Prefect of Gaul, Crismus Cactus, who’s masquerading as a nursemaid. Why do the Romans want this baby? And what plot is the treacherous Brutus hatching against Caesar? Asterix must find out.
